Sound Guides Object Size Choices in African Penguins Through Pitch–Size Association

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.
African penguins use auditory pitch to guide visual size choices. When hearing high‐pitched sounds, they preferentially approach and gaze at smaller objects, and when hearing low‐pitched sounds, they preferentially approach and gaze at larger ones.

Mandarin speech‐based early detection of SCD: a feature‐fusion residual network method

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a global health challenge. Early intervention during the stage of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) – a potential window for delaying disease progression – is crucial. This study aims to assess an exploratory speech‐based model for rapid SCD screening.

Effects of Four Voice Qualities and Formant Dispersion on Perception of a Female Voice

Psychology of Language and Communication, 2018
Stimuli produced by a female speaker with four different voice qualities - modal, girlish, breathy and creaky - were manipulated to have more or less formant dispersion and were rated on four scales (dominance, attractiveness, sexiness and youthfulness ...

Identification and discrimination of sweep formants [PDF]

Perception & Psychophysics, 1989
Earlier identification experiments with sweep tones are repeated with rising and falling single formant (band) sweeps, with durations ranging from 15 to 40 msec and sweep rates from 0 to 40 oct/sec. Steady-state portions of 100-msec duration are then added to the sweeps.

Speech‐Like Vibrotactile Stimulation Is Associated With Enhanced Cortical Activations in Single‐Sided Deafness: An fMRI Study

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 10, May 2026.
Using fMRI during somatosensory stimulation with fixed‐frequency and speech‐derived vibrotactile signals, normal‐hearing adults showed stronger stimulus selectivity in primary somatosensory cortex, with greater responses to simple periodic vibrations.

Exploring Acoustic Overlap in Second Language Vowel Productions

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1293-1304, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the alignment of vowel categories between second language (L2) learners and first language (L1) speakers of the target language, as well as potential overlaps between adjacent vowels in terms of formant frequencies and duration.

Introducing the Archive of Pittsburgh Language and Speech, a Publicly Accessible, Richly Annotated Corpus of Sociolinguistic Interviews

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The troves of speech data that have driven an increasing orientation towards large‐scale methods in linguistics have been, for the most part, available only to closed teams of researchers and their collaborators. The Archive of Pittsburgh Language and Speech (APLS, https://apls.pitt.edu) is a new open data resource, consisting of nearly 46 h ...

Time Course of the First Formant Bandwidth

, 2002
Phonetic characteristics of modal or non-modal voice qualities, such as open quotient, spectral tilt, the first formant bandwidth, and the degree of noise, have been measured in terms of the relative amplitude difference between the first two harmonics ...

Voice clarification using active noise control and speech separation

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
Active noise control (ANC) is a technique used to reduce environmental noise in noisy places such as office or aircraft cabin. ANC reduces the overall input signal even when it has necessary information such as conversation as well as noise.
